Copies of applicable training certificates, or proof of registration for training for all staff member who manage and/or administer services under this proposal. Savio also ensures that all services and families are viewed through a trauma informed lens. Safety concerns and challenging behaviors are understood within the context of the individual and family trauma history. Recognizing the relationship between problematic behaviors and trauma allows Savio to customize services to address the trauma related behaviors that often are drivers behind placement instability and a lack of permanency for children and youth. This results in increased positive outcomes for infants, children, youth and families. Savio also utilizes SafeCare for children age 0-5 and their caregivers. This model has been shown to mitigate safety concerns, improve child well-being by reducing risk, and increasing caregiver protective capacity. Within adolescent programs, in addition to utilizing trauma informed care, strong emphasis is placed on both individual safety for the youth and family as well as community safety. All programs support the family in building skills related to accountability and safety planning as well as development of plans with caregivers on how to handle unsafe behaviors. Trauma informed parenting instruction for kin providers is provided in home and is focused on each family's and child's unique needs 7. Demonstrate prior and current capacity to be organized, responsive and to quickly and successfully schedule services as requested. Savio is a well -established organization with the infrastructure and staffing available to respond promptly to referrals. Savio will respond to referrals within business 24 hours of receipt and communicate with referring caseworker if there is a waiting list for services. In the event of a waiting list, Savio will work with the caseworker to determine if the family can wait for services to begin. Communication with the caseworker will continue a regular basis until the case is entered or a referred to another service. The goal is to provide services to families as promptly as possible. Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio General Requirements Page 2 of 3 8. Agree to track outcome data related to services proposed if awarded a contract and report outcomes upon request. Outcomes are tracked on case and program levels. Savio has a computerized client tracking system that can instantly produce aggregate outcome data. Case progress is managed and tracked through monthly Treatment Support Meetings (staffings) that include the family, case worker, Savio worker and supervisor. This process insures families receive targeted, time limited services. Savio services focus on family strengths, prevent out -of -home placement, successfully reunify children back into the home or community, unite children with their permanent family and provide services that protect children. Objectives are defined for programs and specific cases. Savio works with DHS to define and measure adherence to these goals and objectives through the QA Committee and monthly staffings with families. These processes help keep the program and case focused and act as a mechanism to manage length of stay. The Quality Assurance Committee defines and evaluates program success. The final determination of case outcome (successful or unsuccessful) is determined jointly by the DHS caseworker and Savio supervisor. DHS caseworkers are asked to sign off on the case outcome either on a written form or verbally over the phone. Child Protection HB Services defines success as children at home, with kin or in a permanent placement. Adolescent services defines success as the youth living in the community with family or kin and receiving a lower level of care (not in out of home placement), and having successfully completed the majority of their treatment goals. Outcomes for all programs are tracked one year after services end to ensure the families sustain the progress made in treatment. 9. Agree to enter into an agreement, attached as Exhibit A, with the Weld County Department of Human Services and comply with all requirements of the agreement.

Attached as a separate document. Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio General Requirements Page 3 of 3 Savio Aftercare Scope of Service 1. Detailed description of service component, modalities used, appropriate use of services etc. The goals of the Savio Aftercare program are to successfully transition children, age birth to 21 years from out -of -home placement back into their home, eliminate child abuse and neglect by building protective capacity, provide comprehensive treatment services, involve extended family/kin members, and develop support resources for long term family stabilization. Savio brings an expertise in understanding and managing safety. This is particularly vital during the high -risk time of reunification. Many families and children experience ambivalence just prior to reunification. Savio has the expertise to identify, normalize and help the family manage these concerns. Savio will help develop solid aftercare plans that lead to safety management and long term success and low recidivism. This expertise sets Savio apart from other providers. Savio utilizes a best practice model that is strengths -based and family friendly. The strategy is based on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Strategic and Structural Family Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy and Signs of Safety. Families are taught concrete behavioral skills and are given responsibility for implementing them. Staff are accountable for engaging the family. This model is a broadly based, social work intervention that offers a comprehensive array of services which include and extend beyond traditional therapeutic interventions: individual and family counseling; role modeling; educational assistance and support; parenting skills instruction; family group conferencing; team decision making; home structuring; child safety monitoring; pro -social skill building; use of community resources for assistance; transition planning; and 24 -hour crisis intervention. This model is characterized by a concern for all aspects of a family's functioning. Not only do staff address therapeutic issues, they also assist the family in meeting basic needs of education, budgeting, food assistance, housing, furnishings, household maintenance, personal hygiene, clothing, employment, medical and dental services, and secondary needs such as communication, decision -making, and parenting skills. Savio is guided by the philosophy that most families experiencing problems in the areas of school, child abuse and neglect, mental health, domestic violence, substance abuse, or other areas of dysfunction that results in the out -of -home placement of children are more likely to exhibit sustained behavioral changes by receiving in -home family -focused therapeutic services. Services are delivered in the community. The Savio worker spends a minimum of 6.5 hours per week on each individual case. Savio staff assist the family in identifying local resources. Families are taught to effectively use outside agencies during the service period and as part of the aftercare plan. Connecting families to their communities is a critical component of the Savio program. Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Submission for Aftercare Service Page 1 of 4 Savio provides 24 -hour emergency support to families involved in the Aftercare program through a cell phone. Staff will first work to stabilize the situation over the phone and will respond in person if needed. The goal is to prevent further escalation and ultimately teach families skills to reduce conflict for long term sustainability. 2. Target population including age range, specific population characteristics, area of service, etc. Target Population Families with children and youth age birth to 18 years of age placed in foster or kinship care who are ready to begin reunification. Services provided to prepare a child for reunification with his/her family or other permanent placement and to prevent future out- of -home placement of the child.

Detailed description of service component, modalities used, appropriate use of services etc. Functional Family Therapy (FFT) is a short-term, well -documented program which has been successfully applied to a wide range of problem youth and their families. The program involves specific phases and techniques designed to engage and motivate the youth and family to deal with the negative affect that prevents change. Later phases then work to improve communication, interactions and problem -solving patterns between the youth and family, and assist families to better access and utilize outside system resources. FFT is designed to rapidly engage family members and provide insights, training, and skills development so that families can confidently and appropriately manage problem adolescent behaviors without further juvenile justice system involvement. As an effective intervention program for families, FFT is flexibly structured and culturally sensitive. Savio began its Functional Family Therapy (FFT) program in September 2004 and completed the process of becoming a fully certified site through FFT, LLC in 2005. The FFT model has been evaluated many times beginning in 1971. The model's effectiveness has been independently demonstrated with a between -groups design, and its impact asserted at additional performance sites. FFT has demonstrated a significant reduction in recidivism when compared to alternative treatments and no treatment conditions. Overall program goals for FFT are to: • Reduce recidivism rates; • Reduce the number of youth being adjudicated or convicted of new legal violations; and • Reduce the characteristics or traits of youth that contribute to inappropriate behavior, negative attitudes and recidivism. The FFT program draws on a multisystemic perspective in its family -based intervention and prevention efforts. It is a family therapy model that works with the family to: • Improve family relationships and communication skills; • Assist families in adopting positive solutions to problematic areas; • Develop positive parenting skills; • Strengthen and preserve the family unit. Although originally designed to treat middle-class families with delinquent and pre -delinquent youth, the program later included poor, multi -ethnic, multi -cultural populations with very serious problems such as conduct disorder, adolescent drug abuse and violence. Excellent outcomes have been documented across all populations served. Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio FFT Scope of Service Page 1 of 5 Every family involved with the FFT program completes various assessments throughout treatment in order to evaluate risk and protective factors. Upon entering the program every family completes an Outcome Questionnaire. In addition, the identified client and caregivers complete a Youth Outcome Questionnaire. All assessments are evaluating: • Intrapersonal distress (the amount of emotional distress in the adolescent); • Somatic (indicates change in physical complaints by the adolescent); • Interpersonal Relations (relationships with parents, other adults and peers); • Social Problems (problems that are socially related including aggression and delinquency); • Behavioral Dysfunction (inattention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, concentration, ability to organize tasks and ability to handle frustration); • Critical Items (paranoia, obsessive -compulsive behaviors, hallucinations, delusions, suicide, mania and eating disorders). Serious attention is given to a high score on any single item in this category. These assessments are commonly given at the first and last sessions and then are evaluated for statistical and clinical significance for change after FFT is completed. There are also outcome reports that the family and therapist will complete after treatment that measures the perception of change for all involved parties. Throughout treatment the FFT Therapist is administering the Counseling Process Questionnaire. This tool assists the therapist in guiding the family through the FFT phases and ensuring adherence to and competency in the model. Phases of treatment The three phases of FFT (Engagement/Motivation, Behavior Change, and Generalization) are based on understanding families in a broad context, and understanding client problems systemically. Each phase has distinct goals and objectives, addresses different risk and protective factors, and calls for particular skills from the therapist. Engagement/Motivation Phase (Phase I) The Engagement/Motivation phase has four primary goals: • Building an alliance between the therapist and each family member and between all family members; • Reducing negativity and blame; • Developing a shared family perception of the presenting problems; and • Building hope and an expectation for change. During this phase, the therapist is using specific therapeutic techniques and assessments to meet these goals. The two main techniques used by the therapist are "reframing" and "theme development". The therapist uses these skills to address the identified problem with the adolescent and to clarify how the youth's problem is being sustained within the family's relationships. Reframing or reattribution may take three directions. The first is changing the meaning of a behavior, emotion or event. The therapist works with the family to change a negative and blaming description of a behavior, emotion or event into one that is more positive. Secondly, reframing will challenge the family by suggesting hope and focusing on a potential for Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio FFT Scope of Service Page 2 of 5 change. Finally, the therapist can direct reframing at linking family members together to create a more family -focused perspective of the behavior, emotion or event. The second technique used in this phase is developing a family theme that describes problematic patterns of behaviors and/or relationships in a way that suggests they may be motivated by positive (though misguided) intent. The themes that are developed by the therapist and family aim to utilize a non -blaming, alternative explanation for "bad" behavior. For example, if the youth uses drugs, the therapist and family strive to view that behavior as a response to relationship difficulties within the family. In general, themes provide new "explanations" of problematic and painful behavior patterns that provide hope for the future and give family members a reason to stick with the difficult change process. Reframing and theme development are ongoing processes throughout the engagement/ motivation phase. A therapist knows that they have completed this phase and can move into the next phase when family members accept that while each family member has a different and unique contribution to the family's primary concerns, they also all share in the emotional struggle that is occurring. Another sign of phase completion is when the family believes that the therapist has an understanding of their position and the ability to help. When the family is hopeful that a solution is possible and feel motivated to take the responsibility to try new behaviors and techniques in search of solutions, the therapist directs the family to the Behavior Change phase of treatment. Behavior Change Phase (Phase II) During this phase, the FFT Therapist develops and implements intermediate and long-term behavior change plans that are culturally appropriate, context sensitive, and tailored to the unique needs and characteristics of each family member. The Behavior Change phase has three primary goals: • Help families develop competencies that may facilitate changes in family risk patterns; • Identify targets of change; and • Identify "pathways" of change that fit the family. By the time the family reaches the Behavior Change phase, the therapist has already assessed and identified risk and protective factors to be targeted for change. The FFT Therapist uses clinical observation, pre -assessment instruments, and the relational functions of the family to make this determination and develop interventions. The Therapist develops and individualizes a change plan for the family. The plans are based on the family "themes" identified during the Engagement/Motivation phase, so the family has a continued understanding of the rationale behind the changes. Typically there are four aspects of behavior change: positive communication, positive parenting, successful problem solving, and conflict management. Change plans are written using small, obtainable goals that will help the family function in more adaptive, acceptable and productive ways. Generalization Phase (Phase III) Generalization Phase goals include the following: Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio FFT Scope of Service Page 3 of 5 • Generalize the changes made in the Behavior Change phase to other areas of the family relational system; • Maintain changes made through focused and specific relapse prevention plans; • Support and extend the changes made by the family by incorporating relevant community resources into treatment. During the Generalization phase, the therapist focuses on working with the family on how they will use what they learned in the Behavior Change phase to respond to similar struggles within the family and systems around them in the future. The FFT Therapist will work with the family to maintain the changes and normalize the ups and downs of change. In addition, the FFT Therapist will teach the family to identify community resources for their family that will continue to maintain the changes made. 2. Target population including age range, specific population characteristics, area of service, etc. Functional Family Therapy (FFT) targets youth between the ages of 11 and 18 and includes treatment to the siblings of the referred adolescent when appropriate. FFT is a short-term intervention with an average of 8 to 12 sessions for mild cases and up to 30 hours of direct service for more difficult cases. In most cases, sessions are spread over a three month period. 3.

Key Concepts • Team Decision Making (TDM) - Family Group Conferences — Involvement of extended family and kin is a philosophical basis of the program, family ties are strengthened or re- established from the beginning of the program; formal family group conferences and/or TDM's are also held with the support of DHS; • Treatment Support Meetings — This family centered, strength -based monthly staffing process includes parents, extended family, Savio staff and supervisor, DHS caseworker, GAL, and other involved professionals. These meetings are anchored by Signs of Safety Mapping and the Colorado Assessment Continuum, and focus on protective concerns that need to be resolved to eliminate the need for child welfare involvement. A WorkPlan is established with the team outlining specific goals to be accomplished, action steps, strengths, and time frames for completion. • Parenting Skills Development — Families receive both group and individual instruction with an emphasis on alternatives to physical discipline, household management, consistent delivery of rules, consequences and rewards, knowledge of developmental milestones and nutrition. Objectives • Strengthen the family unit with in -home, family dictated services; • Reduce child abuse/neglect by increasing protective capacity of caregivers, eliminating safety concerns and reducing risk factors; • Establish permanency for children within reasonable and mandated time frames; and, • Provide 24 -hour crisis intervention services by Savio staff Service Goals Upon graduation, the parents will possess the skills necessary to: • Maintain their children in their home; • Eliminate the need for Child Welfare and/or Juvenile Court involvement; • No longer abuse or neglect their children; and, Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B1700080 Savio Home Based Services Scope Service Page 1 of 10 • Improve overall family functioning. Safety of children is a key goal of Savio services. Staff are trained in identifying safety concerns and developing and monitoring safety plans. Savio staff participate in TDM Meetings where safety is discussed and plans are developed. The Savio Child Protection staff are given specialized training in identifying safety concerns in families with young children. Staff utilize the Colorado Safety Assessment and Plan and use the results of this tool to inform practice and develop interventions with families. Management of risk factors for young children and youth is essential to protecting children. Savio has expertise in risk identification and management. The Child Protection Division utilizes the Risk Assessment and Re -Assessment to identify specific risk factors and help the family develop concrete plans for managing those risks in the future. By paying specific attention to risk management, recidivism is greatly reduced. In addition to formalized safety and risk management through the use of the Colorado Assessment Continuum, Savio utilizes the Signs of Safety approach with families. Signs of Safety is a solution -focused brief therapy approach that builds partnerships with parents when there is suspected or substantiated child abuse and neglect. This strengths -based, family -centered style enlists parents as partners, and the focus is on developing protective capacities through identifying what is or needs to be occurring in the family system to create safety for children. HB Child Protection with Embedded Evidence Based Service Savio has worked to embed several evidence -based practices into the Home Based Programs to provide comprehensive services to families. Based on family need, Savio is able to provide SafeCare, an evidence -based parenting skills training program, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF CBT) and/or Alternatives to Families: A Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of the Home Based offering. SafeCare would only be offered through Core services if the family was court involved with an active Dependency and Neglect case. Non -court involved families would be served by the SafeCare prevention provider. By embedding these evidence -based programs into the service package on an as needed basis, families are able to have their treatment needs met by one provider. These interventions will count for approximately one and a half to two hours per week. The additional time will allow for targeted interventions to support and strengthen the therapeutic work and/or provide concrete services and supports to families based on need. The Department caseworker and family will help define the needs and combination of services necessary to most successfully build protective capacity and promote successful reunification. HB CBS Services- Adolescent Overview of Service The goal of the Savio Community Based Services (CBS) program is to successfully reintegrate youth back into the community with transitional services that prevent recidivism, stress Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Home Based Services Scope Service Page 2 of 10 responsibility and prepare the youth for a pro -social lifestyle. This goal is achieved through individualized services, client supervision, family involvement and community collaboration. The Savio CBS program uses a client -centered, humanistic approach which focuses on starting on the client's level and working on the areas where they perceive help is needed. Counseling, family supervision and all other interventions are administered in the home, school and other organizations with which the youth is involved. The key elements of community based treatment are service integration, case and system management, early identification and intervention, advocacy, skill building and sensitivity to individual differences. Emancipating youth are often missing necessary documentation (birth certificate, social security card and Colorado identification card) and do not have adequate clothing and skills to interview for and obtain employment. Families may be lacking the physical space or furniture, financial resources or parenting skills for the return of their youth to the home. This array of obstacles is taken into account as the CBS Worker, the client and their family develop plans to assist the youth in the community. The CBS service is adaptable and can be tailored to meet the needs of families of adolescents who might not be amenable to other therapeutic services. In addition to supporting the youth, the CBS worker can work with families to create interventions that support and maintain the transition of youth to the homes following placement. In developing interventions the Savio CBS Worker considers criminogenic factors such as anti- social attitudes, anti -social peers found in the neighborhoods in which the youth must live or return to live, substance abuse, lack of empathy and impulsive behavior. These factors may interfere with the ability of the youth to succeed in the community. Barriers to success may also include a school that is hesitant to accept the youth; apartment managers not wanting to rent to youth under eighteen or those with no employment or rental history; and employers unwilling to hire previous criminal offenders. The Savio CBS program includes the following services: Skill Building for Youth The CBS Worker provides individual counseling to youth as a means of maintaining the therapeutic relationship and teaching and modeling pro -social attitudes and values. Skills are demonstrated to the clients who are then given the opportunity to practice and role play new skills. The sessions incorporate principles of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Aggression Replacement Therapy to address those issues which are pertinent to emancipating youth. Community support systems will be developed for continuing positive reinforcement after discharge from Savio. These youth need assistance in dealing with the pressures of living independently. Individual counseling aims to assist the youth in becoming self-sufficient and being able to communicate effectively following Savio involvement. Although the youth is not returning home, the CBS Worker helps to mend and build family relationships and promote family Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Home Based Services Scope Service Page 3 of 10 involvement and monitoring. As in the case of non -delinquent youth who are attempting to live on their own for the first time, this ongoing support of the youth can be critical to their success. Acknowledging that actions speak louder than words, the CBS Worker attempts to model the very behaviors and attitudes that are considered necessary for pro -social functioning. Within a therapeutic relationship, youth often mimic the actions of those whom they respect and trust. As the youth practice more appropriate behaviors, they tend to internalize the changes. With positive reinforcement, it is hoped that the modifications will become a permanent part ofthe client's means of functioning and relating with others. All services provided by Savio CBS are relationship -based, which opens the youth to being receptive to new concepts. For example, Savio's strengths -based approach which acknowledges and builds upon the youth's strengths, stimulates the development of relationships. Savio assigns staff to clients based upon compatible personal traits. Relationships are developed through skills practice and role modeling which assist the youth in developing and practicing pro -social values. All services are delivered in a non judgmental manner, with the philosophy that mistakes, such as the loss of a job or apartment, are a necessary and natural part of the learning process. Savio staff help youth through this stressful and new time in their lives and teach healthy coping skills to deal with such stressors. Finding and Securing Housing Identifying and securing housing is a necessary skill for emancipating youth. The first step entails the identification of neighborhoods that are acceptable for the youth and those that are not, based on the following factors: • Gang or other negative issues of the emancipating youth; Accessibility to bus routes; • Proximity to job opportunities; • Presence of community and support services (grocery stores, banks, post office, etc.); and Availability of appropriate recreational activities. Staff provide transportation to apply for suitable apartments and assist with the application process by ensuring completion of paperwork and payment of application fees. Once approved, the youth is aided in understanding and signing the lease, paying the deposit and initial rent, arranging a move -in date, obtaining keys and setting up installation of telephone service and other utilities. The deposit and rent may be funded in several ways. The youth may finance the apartment through money saved, parental assistance, or funding from government programs. Furnishings and household items are donated when available. Savio has the youth sign and take responsibility for the lease, which may vary in duration from one to six months. Budgeting and Managing Money Throughout involvement with the program, youth are taught how to establish and maintain a workable budget and to pay bills in a timely manner. The CBS Worker accompanies the youth to Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number 131700080 Savio Home Based Services Scope Service Page 4 of 10 a neighborhood bank to establish a savings account and explains bank services and expectations. The CBS Worker monitors expenditures and helps the client to adjust the budget as needed by having each youth complete a weekly budget worksheet. If the youth has outstanding restitution, the Worker ensures that a designated portion of each paycheck is applied toward his/her legal obligation. This is done by having the youth arrange a payment plan with the specific agency to which he or she is indebted and begin a schedule of payment. Employment and Vocational Support With the collaboration of the client and the case worker, Savio staff determine employment interests, aptitudes and special training completed. Clients, with the support of the CBS Worker, role play interviewing skills, practice filling out applications and develop a resume. Staff teach the use of the internet and job placement centers to expose the client to a variety of employment resources for present and future use. If there are transportation barriers for the client, the client is transported and accompanied by staff to apply for jobs, attend interviews and complete appropriate follow-up activities such as follow-up phone calls. Once a job has been obtained, the CBS Worker assists the client with arranging a start date, completing initial paperwork (W-4, I-9, etc.) and establishing a work schedule. The Worker facilitates open communication and proactive problem -solving between the client and employer. Lastly, the Worker and client review bus routes and schedules to the job site to eliminate any obstacles to timeliness. During program involvement, the CBS Worker teaches job maintenance skills and assists the parents in monitoring all aspects of the youth's employment including hours worked, attitude and performance, and income earned. Linkage to Community Resources Savio services are community based in that the program is delivered in the community and utilizes neighborhood resources. To prepare for independent living, staff work with the client to identify needs and interests. The client is then taught how to access community resources in order to meet those needs. The CBS Worker transports and accompanies the youth in order to teach the use of community resources and help acclimate the youth to the neighborhood. Clients and the CBS Worker complete a check list as they identify locations of the nearest grocery store, food bank, post office, bank, recreation center and other neighborhood agencies with the intention of the youth using them independently. As an additional resource to clients, CBS staff maintain a comprehensive Resource Manual which describes various community agencies and programs offered. Additionally, and most importantly, the Worker and client identify family supports such as a role model or mentor within the youth's social network who will continue to be involved in the youth's life in the future. If the client is unable to choose a mentor, the Worker may utilize community personnel, such as recreation center staff, a co-worker or supervisor, teacher or counselor to select persons able to fulfill that role. Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Home Based Services Scope Service Page 5 of 10 Leisure Time The CBS Worker assesses the client's recreational and social interests and aids in accessing community activities that are positive and age -appropriate. For example, the Worker may accompany the client to the closest recreation center to obtain a membership card and inquire about services and hours. Tickets donated to Savio are passed on to youth to provide an opportunity to attend events that would otherwise be too costly. Clients are assisted in developing a network of positive activities that are close in proximity, inexpensive, and not subject to negative situations such as the presence of gang affiliation or alcohol and drug use. It is expected that the youth will continue to utilize these community resources after Savio involvement. One of the biggest issues facing young emancipators is loneliness and isolation. Assisting them with locating a positive peer group and identifying familial supports are essential to success. In addition, the CBS Worker makes long-range plans with the youth to determine where holidays will be spent and with whom and helps the client problem solve for unexpected changes in plans. A strong support system is needed to assist the youth in feeling connected. Often youth who fail are overwhelmed with responsibilities and loneliness, have no support system to help them, and giving up becomes an option. Savio's program is designed to address these risk factors and increase the likelihood of a successful transition to independent living. Family Support Services can be utilized to support the youth's reintegration into the home after placement. The CBS worker can help create household rules and structure individualized to meet the needs of each family. Educational Support The CBS Worker evaluates the youth's educational needs and interests through a review of educational services and plans, discussions and past records during the pre -placement interview to determine what services are required. If the youth has not yet been enrolled in an educational program, the Worker and youth select an educational or vocational plan, i.e., high school, GED preparation, college, apprenticeship or other vocational program, and assists the youth with enrollment and application for financial aid. The Worker and client identify a contact person to utilize for support during enrollment and beyond. The Worker aids in establishing a schedule of monitoring, ensuring the youth understands the expectations of the education program, and identifying transportation. Throughout Savio involvement the CBS Worker monitors the child's attendance and school performance through regularly scheduled and impromptu checks. The youth is taught study skills and the Worker aids the client in creating a study schedule to ensure that assignments are completed. If the youth is struggling, the Worker may provide tutorial assistance or help the client locate this resource within the school or community. The Worker also teaches the clients how to utilize student centers and school counselors for aftercare. Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Home Based Services Scope Service Page 6 of 10 Youth who have been identified as eligible for special education services receive heightened attention to ensure that the youth is enrolled in an appropriate educational setting. The CBS Worker attends education staffings and advocates for the needs of the client, as noted in the Individual Education Plan. The CBS Worker serves as a liaison with school personnel to develop interventions that are supported by all parties. The goal is to bring parties together to work as a team toward positive outcomes for the child in school. Parenting Skills for Teen Parents Clients who are pregnant or have children are provided with parenting skills training and support to teach them to be loving and knowledgeable parents. The CBS Worker intervenes individually with the client and child to address relevant topics and assures that basic parenting skills are evident. Topics include, but are not limited to: Newborn, infant and toddler developmental milestones; Basic needs of children (food and milk, warmth, rest, medical care); Age -appropriate expectations; Effective communication and decision -making; Positive discipline strategies which eliminate the need for physical discipline; and, Providing a nurturing, safe and consistent environment. Staff support the parenting teen through the use of non judgmental discussions, pertinent literature and a referral to Savio's parenting support and education group. The Worker and client identify a family support network so the teen parent does not feel isolated or overwhelmed. In addition, if the need is indicated, the client may participate in a Savio Parenting program either through group participation or an individual curriculum. This program provides opportunity for the client to learn about and practice child development concepts, positive communication skills and stress management. Crisis Intervention The CBS program includes the provision of a twenty -four-hour, seven -day -a -week emergency response service. CBS staff are available at all times to help youth and families in crisis through use of a pager. Crisis intervention may be through telephone contact or may involve the CBS Worker meeting face to face with the client to resolve the problem. Throughout program involvement, clients are taught how to mediate and prevent crises through the development of improved problem -solving skills. 2.

Detailed description of service component, modalities used, appropriate use of services etc. Savio Kinship Services can be used to successfully stabilize kinship placements at risk of disruption. Savio works with the substitute care provider to resolve issues and preserve the placement, preventing the child or youth from starting the unhealthy cycle ofplacement "hopping". Savio began providing family in -home services in the mid 1980's. As an agency we have always looked to the research to guide our intervention strategies. Savio's home -based programs were initially developed based on the Homebuilder's model. In the mid 1990's the Savio Child Protection Division was founded on the principles of Family Group Conferencing (FGC) placing families at the center of problem solving and decision making. Over time services have evolved to include strategies from Solution -Focused Brief Therapy and Signs of Safety. Signs of Safety is an approach that builds partnerships with parents when there is suspected or substantiated child abuse and neglect. This strengths -based, family -centered approach enlists parents as partners, and the focus is on developing protective capacities through identifying what is or needs to be occurring in the family system to create safety for children. Employing these family centered approaches is one way in which services are culturally sensitive and trauma informed. By allowing the family to have an active voice and choice about services, the Treatment Team understands the uniqueness of each family including their culture. By honoring family members as full participants, a more comfortable and trauma sensitive stage is set for families to engage with the Treatment Team. The goal is to not overwhelm families with people from the system telling them what to do, but rather to have families talk about their needs, strengths, challenges and goals and for the Treatment Team to work with the family to build protective capacity and support a successful and safe reunification. Savio utilizes Treatment Support Meetings, Team Decision Making meetings and Family Engagement meetings to achieve these goals. Each member of the team participates with the family at the center to avoid duplication of services and support the family. 2.

Description When children are in out -of -home placement, the most important focus is visitation between parents and children. All families referred to the Savio Visitation Program will begin in the Assessment Phase and progress through the continuum of services unless a different request is made by the county. Reunification plans will be developed and closely monitored through Family Engagement Meetings and/or Staffings. Savio staff work closely with parents to build on parenting strengths and develop skills in other areas with a specific emphasis on the safety concerns resulting in the placement of the children. Staff assist parents in the areas of structure, rules, discipline, bonding, nutrition and communication. A wrap-up session after each visit offers parents feedback on what went well and areas to work on next time. When parents and children are no longer in need of the structure and close monitoring, visitation begins in the community, including but not limited to: parent's home, community centers, parks, etc. The next step is to begin the reunification process through unsupervised visitation with unscheduled drop -ins by Savio staff, followed by unsupervised visitation with no drop -ins. Families should then be ready for overnight visits and reunification. Changes in the visitation plan follow court orders and are approved by DHS and the GAL.

Detailed description of service component, modalities used, appropriate use of services etc. Trauma -Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF CBT) Overview of Service Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an Evidenced -Based Treatment for children ages 3 — 18 years experiencing trauma -related difficulties as the result of one or multiple traumatic events and their non -offending parent/caretaker. TF-CBT can be delivered in a variety of setting including home, kinship, adoptive home, residential treatment facility, group home etc. Examples of traumatic events addressed by TF-CBT: • Child Abuse: Sexual, Physical, Neglect, Emotional • Victim/Witness of Violence: Domestic, Community, School • Accidents: motor vehicle • Disasters • War/Terrorism and Refugee • Medical: e.g. diagnosis, invasive medical procedures • Traumatic Grief and Loss TF-CBT has proven to be effective in addressing posttraumatic stress disorder, depression, anxiety, externalizing behaviors, sexualized behaviors, feelings of shame, and mistrust. The parental component increases the positive effects for children by reducing parents' own levels of depression and emotional distress about their children's abuse and improving parenting practices and support of their child. TF-CBT incorporates trauma sensitive interventions with cognitive behavioral, family and humanistic principles and techniques. Children and their parents or caregivers learn new skills to process thoughts and feelings related to traumatic life events; manage and resolve distressing thoughts, feelings and behaviors related to traumatic life events; and, enhance safety, growth, parenting skills and family communication. Length of Stay TF-CBT is designed to be a relatively short intervention lasting 12 — 20 sessions; typically one 90 minute session is completed each week. Longer lengths of stay do occur with more complex trauma symptoms. Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Mental Health Services Scope Service Page 1 of 5 Alternatives for Families: A Cognitive -Behavioral Therapy is designed for families who are referred for problems related to the management of anger and/or aggression, which include several behaviors on a continuum reflecting the use of coercion and/or physical force. Specifically, AF- CBT seeks to improve the relationships between children and their parents/caregivers who experience any of the following clinical concerns: • Anger and verbal aggression, including emotional abuse • Ongoing family conflict • Child behavior problems, including physical aggression • Threats or use of harsh/punitive/ineffective physical discipline or punishment; • Child physical abuse Any and all of these patterns may be demonstrated by an individual caregiver or a child/adolescent, but they also may characterize the interactions of the family. Accordingly, AF-CBT targets individual caregiver and child characteristics, as well as the larger family context. AF-CBT is a treatment based on principles derived from learning and behavioral theory, family systems, cognitive therapy, developmental victimology, and the psychology of aggression. Program Goals: The goals of Alternatives for Families: A Cognitive -Behavioral Therapy (AF-CBT) are to: • Improve caregiver -child relationships. • Strengthen healthy parenting practices. • Enhance children's coping and social skills. • Maintain family safety. • Reduce coercive processes (anger, verbal aggression, threats of force, emotional abuse) by caregivers and other family members. • Reduce use of physical force (aggressive behavior) by caregivers, child and, if relevant, other family members. • Reduce child physical abuse risk or recidivism (prevention of child welfare system involvement or repeated reports/allegations). • Improve child safety/welfare and family functioning. Recommended Intensity: One- or two -hour-long sessions per week; sessions can be longer as needed, especially when the required treatment duration is limited to a few months due to fiscal or programmatic regulations. Longer sessions can be conducted to address multiple family problems/crises. Recommended Duration: There is no typical outpatient course of treatment, given the variability seen across referred families in problem severity, caregiver functioning, family resources, and treatment Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Mental Health Services Scope Service Page 2 of 5 compliance/progress. Cases can be expected to receive between 20 and 30 hours of direct service (or longer), generally spanning 6-12 months. Delivery Settings This program is typically conducted in a(n): • Adoptive Home • Birth Family Home • Hospital • Outpatient Clinic • Residential Care Facility • School 2. Target population including age range, specific population characteristics, area of service, etc. TF CBT Target Population Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) is an Evidenced -Based Treatment for children ages 3 — 18 years experiencing trauma -related difficulties as the result of one or multiple traumatic events and their non -offending parent/caretaker. Specific Population Characteristics TF-CBT is NOT an intervention for the offending parent; if the parent is the perpetrator/cause of the traumatic event, TF-CBT is not the appropriate trauma treatment. However, these children can be served in this model if there is a non -offending parent or caretaker to participate. Savio is looking to expand the continuum of trauma related services offered and include interventions for offending parents and trauma treatment for adults. AF CBT Target Population Eligibility Criteria - The following general criteria have been developed to facilitate the identification of individuals or families who may benefit from this intervention: • Child age 5-17 • A caregiver (biological, foster, or kinship) who will participate in services • Child and caregiver appear appropriate for AF-CBT (i.e., can participate adequately, could benefit, may eventually be together/reunified) Partially Required Characteristics (one of the following must be valid to benefit from AF-CBT): • A caregiver has an allegation or report of suspected physical abuse. • A caregiver has done something that resulted or could have resulted in injury/harm to child. • A caregiver has likely used excessive or harsh physical discipline with the child. Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Mental Health Services Scope Service Page 3 of 5 • A caregiver and the child/family have conflicts and/or heated arguments, which may include caregiver verbal aggression/abuse. • The child has a pattern of oppositional, argumentative, and/or explosive/angry behaviors. • The child has been verbally or physically aggressive, or exhibited other high -risk behaviors. • The child has trauma symptoms related to a history of physical discipline or abuse.

Detailed description of service component, modalities used, appropriate use of services etc. Regular MST Overview of Service Savio developed its MST services in 1999, and its five teams operate fully certified services under the supervision of MST, Inc of South Carolina and the Center for Effective Interventions in Denver, Colorado. Savio's MST programs are recognized as high quality and highest fidelity MST services. Savio MST strives to successfully reintegrate youth back into the community or to prevent out -of - home placement of pre -adjudicated and sentenced youth by providing a Blueprints Program. These programs are recognized by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention as having demonstrated through numerous research efforts to have successful and sustainable outcomes. Services aim to prevent recidivism, strengthen parental involvement, stress responsibility and prepare the youth for a pro -social lifestyle. This goal is achieved through individualized services, client supervision, family involvement and community collaboration. Research in the juvenile delinquency and substance abuse fields has identified four key risk factors related to antisocial behavior in adolescents. These risk factors - association with negative peers, poor family relations, challenges in school and lack of neighborhood/community support - are directly addressed by the MST model. The MST Therapist utilizes a fit circle as an assessment tool to identify the systemic drivers of antisocial behavior, which then guides interventions with the family. A major goal of MST is to empower parents with the skills and resources needed to independently address the difficulties that arise in raising teenagers and to teach youth to cope with problems they encounter with the family, peers, school and neighborhood. Savio's MST program strives to promote behavior change in the youth's natural environment using the strengths of each system to facilitate change. The Savio MST Therapist focuses on helping parents become self-sufficient problem solvers. Intervention strategies include structural family therapy, strategic family therapy, behavioral parent training and cognitive behavioral therapies. The design and implementation of MST interventions is based on nine core principles. The nine core principles of MST are: • The primary purpose of assessment is to understand the fit between the identified problems and their broader systemic context (how problems "make sense" in a given context). • Therapeutic contacts emphasize the positive and use systemic strengths as levers for change. Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Multi -systemic Therapy Scope Service Page 1 of 4 • Interventions are designed to promote responsible behavior and decrease irresponsible behavior among family members. • Interventions are present -focused and action -oriented, targeting specific and well-defined problems. • Interventions target sequences of behavior within and between multiple systems that maintain identified problems. • Interventions are developmentally appropriate and fit the developmental needs of the youth. • Interventions are designed to require daily or weekly effort by family members. • Intervention effectiveness is evaluated continuously from multiple perspectives, with providers assuming accountability for overcoming barriers to successful outcomes. • Interventions are designed to promote treatment generalization and long-term maintenance of therapeutic change by empowering caregivers to address family members' needs across multiple systemic contexts. MST interventions engage and empower all family members to function as resources to successfully and safely maintain children in the home, through individualized family services, client supervision, family involvement and community collaboration. Staff aim to effect log -term change, maintaining reunification by preventing recidivism, strengthening parental involvement, stressing responsibility, and preparing the youth for a pro -social lifestyle. 2. Target population including age range, specific population characteristics, area of service, etc. Target Population The targeted population for MST is chronic, violent or substance abusing male and female juvenile offenders, ages 11 to 18 and their families. In addition, MST works with juveniles with a mental health diagnosis or who are emotionally disturbed. Youth served are at high risk of out -of -home placement or are transitioning home from residential treatment or correctional care. Specific Population Characteristics No additional.

Detailed description of service component, modalities used, appropriate use of services etc. Sexual Abuse Intervention (SAI): The Sexual Abuse Intervention Program works with sexually abusive adolescents and their families to stop abusive behavior and prevent its recurrence through monitoring, education and therapeutic intervention. The program utilizes a high level of supervision and involvement and emphasizes community safety and client accountability at all times. The program serves adolescents, twelve to eighteen years of age, who have committed a sexual offense. The SAI program complies with all SOMB standards and guidelines and works with the youth to successfully complete offense specific treatment. The program services described here can be delivered in varying lengths of time, depending on the needs of the individual client and family. Estimated length of stay is agreed upon at intake and re- evaluated throughout the course of treatment. The needs and safety of victims and/or children within the home, family and client functioning and wishes, the juvenile court mandate, the objectives of the referral source and the recommendations of involved parties and the multi- disciplinary team dictate length of service. The philosophy of the Sexual Abuse Intervention Program is that sexually abusive adolescents can be successfully treated in a home or community setting if their risk levels or behaviors do not raise safety concerns for themselves or others. SAI client and families served receive intensive, home based services. In addition to providing Informed Supervision training and individual and family therapy, the assigned SAI Therapist assists with school safety plan meetings and attends other school meetings as appropriate, helps the family and client create safety plans and helps with registration if required. Depending on the needs of the client the SAI therapist may also assist the client with obtaining employment or locating recreational activities, monitor client functioning in school, in the employment setting, and other community settings, complete random home checks, provide mentoring activities, assist with school or offense -specific homework. The SAI Program utilizes an offense -specific treatment approach. Offense -specific treatment is defined as a comprehensive set of planned therapeutic experiences and interventions targeted to change problem sexual behaviors and attitudes while also increasing prosocial and positive behaviors. Treatment addresses the occurrence and dynamics of sexually abusive behavior and utilizes specific strategies to promote change. Offense -specific programming focuses on the details and components of the sexual offense, including fantasies, arousal, planning, grooming, coercive and silencing behaviors, denial and rationalizations. Treatment also addresses assisting clients and families in identifying, challenging and changing abusive behavior patterns that may not be sexual in nature and replacing them with healthy alternatives. Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B1700080 Savio Sexual Abuse Treatment Scope Service Page 1 of 7 The Sexual Abuse Intervention Program holds clients accountable through the combined use of clients' internal controls and external control measures such as polygraphs, monitoring, safety contracts and plans and relapse prevention plans. This approach requires the integration of attitudes, expectations, policies, procedures and practices, and is implemented through intra- agency and multi -disciplinary teamwork. The Sexual Abuse Intervention Program utilizes the following principles as the foundation of the treatment approach: • Community safety is the primary concern. • Assessment of clients with sexual offenses is an on -going process; therefore, level of risk if not constant over time. • Victims have a right to safety and self-determination. • Remorse and empathy should be expressed through accountability to victims. • Youth who are sexually abusive have often been victims of abuse and neglect themselves; it is important that they experience empathy and support from others while being challenged to develop this capacity in themselves. • Treatment of clients with sexual offenses requires a coordinated team response. • Effective treatment focuses both on extinguishing abusive behaviors and on addressing healthy, age -appropriate development and sexuality. Treatment should also address improving social and emotional skills and development. • Successful treatment and supervision of clients with sexual offenses is enhanced by the positive cooperation of family, friends, employers and members of the community who have influence in their lives. • Treatment of clients with sexual offenses should seek, whenever possible, to strengthen clients' emotional ties to family, friends and community. The Sexual Abuse Intervention Program utilizes a family -focused approach to treatment planning, implementation and evaluation. Families participate in weekly family therapy sessions, facilitated by a SAI Therapist. Family sessions are conducted primarily in the family's home; sessions may be held at the Savio House facility when alternate arrangements are necessary. If a client is expected to emancipate following completion of the program, therapy sessions will be held with collateral parties when possible. Families are required to comply with a safety contract designed for the home setting. The safety contract is established within 10 days of the family's admittance into the program and is individualized according to their needs. The safety contract is shared with the probation and human services departments. All SAI safety contract violations are to be reported to Savio House staff immediately and will be relayed to probation and other treatment team members. If the parent or guardian is unable or unwilling to comply with the safety contract, their appropriateness for the program at their respective level of care is re-evaluated. Contact between SAI clients and their victims is not allowed until approved by all parties, including the victim's therapist. If/when contact is deemed appropriate, Savio House will facilitate Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Sexual Abuse Treatment Scope Service Page 2 of 7 a clarification meeting with the victim and his or her therapist and/or family, during which the SAI client takes responsibility for his actions. Contact between the victim and the SAI client will be closely monitored and at no time will the SAI client be allowed to be alone with the victim. If clients disclose additional victims, the department of human services will be notified immediately, enabling newly reported victims to receive the necessary services. Victim safety is a top priority in this program and any concerns about this area of treatment will be immediately addressed and communicated to the probation officer. Whether the client is residing at home, in the community or in a residential setting, the focus of the Sexual Abuse Intervention Program is community safety and client accountability. While clients' risk -levels should always be monitored, juveniles with a history of sexual offending are capable of decreasing their risk to re -offend and increasing their pro -social and coping skills, enabling them to function safely in the community. Strong community ties and support are also viewed as protective factors, which promote adaptive functioning and can decrease client risk. Points of transition are carefully considered and involve detailed planning. Upon graduation from the Sexual Abuse Intervention Program, clients and their families will possess the skills to: Clients: • Identify and challenge triggers or related to problem sexual behaviors • Increase of healthy and appropriate sexual thoughts and behaviors • Utilize healthy communication and coping skills • Demonstrate empathy for others • Demonstrate knowledge and use of health promotion and sustainability plans • Develop and utilize support systems with an emphasis on accountability • Identify and utilize positive social and recreational activities Parents/Guardians: • Identify and intervene in abusive behaviors • Identify risk factors and symptoms of victimization • Demonstrate consistent/appropriate supervision of all children in the household • Demonstrate a consistent ability to provide structure • Maintain healthy boundaries for all family members • Identify and meet their children's physical, social and emotional needs MST for Problem Sexual Behavior (MST PSB) Overview of Service Savio offers a specialized MST program designed to meet the needs of juvenile sex offenders. Savio is the fourth agency in the world to implement this specialized model. This program, MST Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B1700080 Savio Sexual Abuse Treatment Scope Service Page 3 of 7 for Problem Sexual Behaviors (MST-PSB) is an intensive, comprehensive, community- and family -based treatment modality aimed at decreasing juvenile sex offending and effectively reintegrating youth into the home and community. MST-PSB incorporates evidence -based intervention techniques and utilizes an intensive quality assurance system to support treatment fidelity. The MST-PSB model does not support or utilize any group counseling. This modality views caregivers as the key to achieving favorable clinical outcomes for their youth. To ensure their participation, caregivers are highly involved in the development and implementation of interventions. The MST-PSB model is a total behavioral health care modality that addresses all the needs of each family member. Multisystemic therapy for youths with problem sexual behaviors (MST-PSB) is a family -and community -based treatment approach that is designed to promote victim safety and reduce the likelihood of future problem behaviors and criminal activity. MST-PSB was initially validated in two randomized clinical trials demonstrating that the approach led to long-term reductions in sexual and nonsexual criminal recidivism and in days incarcerated in adulthood. A third clinical trial evaluating the effectiveness of MST-PSB is nearing completion, and the results are again very favorable. MST-PSB focuses on the wide range of individual, family, peer, and academic problems that are commonly associated with juvenile sexual offending. The MST-PSB model is driven by the same treatment principles as standard MST (i.e., with non-PSB youths), utilizes a comprehensive and logically derived treatment planning and assessment process, and maintains an ecological and systemic perspective on treatment. However, MST-PSB moves beyond standard MST practice in that it specifically focuses on aspects of the youth's ecology that are functionally related to the youth's sexual delinquency. MST-PSB strongly emphasizes the development and implementation of comprehensive, ecologically -based safety plans to minimize the risk of youth reoffending. In addition, MST-PSB therapists receive extensive training and support in the application of structural and strategic family therapy interventions (above and beyond standard MST) to address family variables and dynamics associated with sexual and nonsexual behavior problems. Family and youth denial about sexual offenses and their sequelae is addressed through a clarification process that emphasizes social -ecological drivers. An increased emphasis is also placed on the youth's peer relations so as to encourage age appropriate and normative sexual experiences. Parents are coached to provide clear guidance, support, and structure to facilitate the youth's development of requisite social skills for initiating and maintaining healthy peer relationships MST PSB interventions engage and empower all family members to function as resources to successfully and safely maintain children in the home, through individualized family services, client supervision, family involvement and community collaboration. Staff aim to effect log -term change, maintaining reunification by preventing recidivism, strengthening parental involvement, stressing responsibility, and preparing the youth for a pro -social lifestyle.

Detailed description of service component, modalities used, appropriate use of services etc. Functional Family Therapy — Contingency Management (FFT/CM): Savio is proposing to provide Functional Family Therapy Contingency Management (FFT/CM) as a service for youth involved in delinquent behavior and substance use or abuse. Contingency Management (CM) is the only evidence based substance abuse model, meaning its research shows that it effectively reduces the use of drugs and alcohol and decreases delinquent behavior and involvement in the juvenile justices system. Contingency Management strategies are one of the most researched models in existence today and consistently show positive results in the reduction of alcohol and drug use. FFT/CM is the integration of Functional Family Therapy (FFT) with use of the behavioral and cognitive behavioral based tools of CM to specifically address substance use and abuse. The following outlines the basics of FFT with the inclusion of CM. FFT is designed to rapidly engage family members and provide insight, training, and skill development so that families can confidently and appropriately manage problem adolescent behaviors without further juvenile justice system involvement. Functional Family Therapy (FFT) is a short-term, well -documented program which has been successfully applied to a wide range of problem youth and their families. While its foundation is FFT, FFT/CM is highly focused on drug and alcohol use. Every session is based on whether the juvenile is currently using substances. If so, drivers of the substance use are explored and identified. If not, the focus is to understand what is driving the juvenile to stay sober and these drivers are leveraged to influence future behavior. The following are the five components of CM that are added to the tradition process of FFT. 1. A tailored ABC Assessment of use/non-use conducted with the youth and caregivers 2. Family Drug -Management Planning, including Drug -Refusal Skills Training 3. Point and Level Reward System a. Identifying motivational rewards b. Personalizing the contract c. Signing the contract 4. Drug Testing Protocol to monitor the drug use 5. Strong focus on engagement and sustainability Therapists assess the substance use via screening tools (i.e., Therapist flow chart and checklist 2.1 for determining appropriateness for substance abuse treatment, Modified CAGE Questionnaire, client substance index, etc.), using the flow chart to help guide which screening tools are relevant and necessary depending on the clients substance use or abuse. The therapist assesses the impact of the substance use on the family. The FFT supervisor and FFT expert consultant review the assessment results and determine whether the client is an appropriate fit for FFT/CM. Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Substance Abuse Treatment Scope Service Page 1 of 9 Once it is determined the juvenile is an appropriate fit for FFT/CM the therapist administers the ABC Assessment, a tool largely used in cognitive behavioral therapy, to begin the Family Drug - Management Planning. The ABC Assessment helps to identify the antecedents, or triggers, to the substance use. Triggers may include people, places, events, thoughts and feelings that drive the use of alcohol or drugs. Next, the therapist assists the client to identify the behavior itself- what does the client do when a trigger is present. Then, the therapist facilitates the identification of consequences- both positive and negative- that reinforces the use. The therapist uses a guide to help probe deeper and gain a full understanding of the drivers and consequences of the behavior. After triggers and consequences are identified, the therapist helps the youth and caregiver develop skills for managing or avoiding the identified triggers. The therapist teaches the client these skills and also teaches the caregiver how to support the client's implementation of these new skills. The client is also trained in drug refusal skills for situations that are unavoidable. These skills are practiced in session via modeling and role playing. This allows for in -session feedback and shaping the responses in order to improve effectiveness. A plan is developed for the next time a trigger occurs. Once the youth implements the new skills in real life, a follow up session occurs right away to provide feedback and reinforcement of the skill. In addition to refusal skills, therapists assist the client to manage the environment by identifying strategies the client can use to avoid places or people that are antecedents. This includes identifying triggers or drivers within the client's social network, including friends and social activities. The next component of CM is to develop a point -and -level system. The therapist collaborates with the family to develop a reward menu specific to the youth, identifying rewards that are desirable to the youth and achievable by the parents (looking for sustainable, realistic rewards). The program assists families by initially purchasing rewards, but expects the family to develop rewards they can maintain after treatment is completed. The rewards are quantified, giving smaller rewards for lower level achievement and larger rewards for longer -term success. An example of the system is the youth earns points for each clean UA. The points can be cashed in via a "checkbook" system where a certain number of points "buys" a certain type of reward. The points earned are tallied, as well as, those cashed in. The rewards are meant to be delivered immediately after the clean UA. The program is designed so UA results are read on the spot. This is key for the effectiveness of FFT/CM. Research shows that rewards are most effective when tied closely to the desired behavior. In FFT/CM, youth cannot cash in points when they have hot UAs. Consequences are also administered immediately to further connect the impact of the client's choices. After a number of weeks with clean UAs, clients can advance levels which allots them more points per clean UA. This plan is developed into a formal contact that is signed by all involved (youth, caregiver, and therapist). The next steps are to implement the tools and monitor the client's behavior. Having a formal plan allows for the family to evaluate how well each aspect is working and tweak accordingly. For example, perhaps the client needs a more desirable reward on the menu for a particular behavior or an additional skill is identified that is necessary to address triggers. The plan can be adjusted Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Substance Abuse Treatment Scope Service Page 2 of 9 and updated as these learnings occur allowing for an evolution of the program to meet each client's needs as they adjust and change. As a client achieves success and nears the end of treatment, the ABC assessment is re -administered to measure the positive change. The therapist again facilitates a process to identify the triggers and how the client responds differently now. The new skills are incorporated into a sustainability plan. The reward menu may also be updated. Treatment at this stage also focuses on helping the family identify triggers or situations that haven't presented themselves yet and how to address them. A plan for ongoing substance use testing is developed. And finally, the plan outlines criteria for when the family or client will contact the therapist again or return to therapy. This portion of CM aligns closely with the standard FFT components as we seek to develop a plan to sustain the changes. In FFT/CM, we identify not only what they family gained in treatment for the substance use, but all of the tools they gained to sustain success in school, at home, with friends, etc. Testing of Substance The process of the collection and urine analysis (UA) in FFT sessions is done as a family — not the therapist and client alone — which mirrors the relational focus in FFT. The UA protocol is as follows: A designated family member will check the bathroom to ensure there are no chemicals or supplies that could alter the results of the UA. A family member monitors the collection of the urine specimen. The youth will place the cap on the specimen. The caregiver will read the temperature strip to ensure it is a proper temperature. The family member starts the analysis and the additional family members and therapist observe and report the results of the UA to everyone in session. While there is no doubt the therapist is monitoring substance use through the UA process, the protocol developed for FFT-CM UA's attempts to reduce any risk of alliance imbalance and to develop family skills and empowerment. Urine will be collected at each designated FFT session at the beginning of the session and analysis occurs immediately after collection. There are a variety of ways the UA test cup can be voided or made invalid so in practice, the therapist should always have a spare test cup with them at sessions. To reduce opportunities for contamination, after the designated family member checks the bathroom for possible contaminants they will carry the test cup into the bathroom and give it to the youth once they are immediately ready to provide the specimen. While not done frequently, families can also conduct UA screens between sessions. As previously mentioned, the goal is provide immediate rewards or consequences to increase the effectiveness of the drug screening intervention. Therefore the specimen is not sent to a lab unless the multidisciplinary team has requested this. If this has been requested, the therapist will seal the specimen in a bag and return it to Savio House, where it will be then transported to a testing lab. All results will be shared with the treatment team.

Contingency Management strategies are one of the most researched models in existence today and consistently show positive results in the reduction of alcohol and drug use. MST -CM is the integration of Multisystemic Therapy (MST) with use of the behavioral and cognitive behavioral based tools of CM to specifically address substance use and abuse. The following outlines MST with the inclusion of CM. As mentioned in Savio's application for MST services (Program A. Multisystemic Therapy), MST is an intensive family and community -based treatment that addresses the multiple determinants of serious antisocial behavior in juvenile offenders. The multisystemic approach views individuals as being nested within a complex network of interconnected systems that encompass individual, family and extrafamilial (peer, school, neighborhood) factors. Intervention may be necessary in any one or a combination of these systems. The primary goals of MST are to reduce youth criminal activity, reduce other types of antisocial behavior, such as drug use or gang membership, and achieve these outcomes at cost savings by decreasing rates of incarceration and out of home placement. MST aims to achieve these goals through a treatment that addresses the risk factors in an individualized, culturally relevant, comprehensive and integrated fashion; and that empowers families to enhance protective factors. MST is designed to rapidly engage family members and empower parents. While its foundation is MST, MST -CM is highly focused on drug and alcohol use. Every session is based on whether the juvenile is currently using substances. If so, drivers of the substance use are explored and identified. If not, the focus is to understand what is driving the juvenile to stay sober. These drivers are then leveraged to influence future behavior. Clients that are appropriate for MST -CM are those abusing substances and continue to do so despite risk for negative outcomes (such as arrest, probation, family conflict, etc.). Ideal candidates are those clients and caregivers who acknowledge the need for treatment. Although these clients can be treated solely with MST, juvenile justice studies have shown that MST -CM can lead to a quicker reduction of drug and alcohol use (MSTservices.com, January 22, 2016). The following are the five components of CM that are added to the traditional process of MST. 1. A tailored ABC Assessment of use/non-use conducted with the youth and caregivers 2. Family Drug -Management Planning, including Drug -Refusal Skills Training 3. Point and Level Reward System a. Identifying motivational rewards b. Personalizing the contract Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Substance Abuse Treatment Scope Service Page 4 of 9 c. Signing the contract 4. Drug Testing Protocol to monitor the drug use 5. Strong focus on engagement and sustainability Therapists assess the substance use via screening tools (i.e., Therapist flow chart and checklist 2.1 for determining appropriateness for substance abuse treatment, Modified CAGE Questionnaire, client substance index, etc.), using the flow chart to help guide which screening tools are relevant and necessary depending on the clients substance use or abuse. The therapist assesses the impact of the substance use on the 5 primary systems of the juvenile's ecology (home, school, peer, community and individual). The MST supervisor and MST expert consultant review the assessment results and determine whether the client is an appropriate fit for MST -CM. Once it is determined the juvenile is an appropriate fit for MST -CM the therapist administers the ABC Assessment, a tool largely used in cognitive behavioral therapy, to begin the Family Drug - Management Planning. The ABC Assessment helps to identify the antecedents, or triggers, to the substance use. Triggers may include people, places, events, thoughts and feelings that drive the use of alcohol or drugs. Next, the therapist assists the client to identify the behavior itself- what does the client do when a trigger is present. Then, the therapist facilitates the identification of consequences- both positive and negative- that reinforces the use. The therapist uses a guide to help probe deeper and gain a full understanding of the drivers and consequences of the behavior. After triggers and consequences are identified, the therapist helps the youth and caregiver develop skills for managing or avoiding the identified triggers. The therapist teaches the client these skills and also teaches the caregiver how to support the client's implementation of these new skills. The client is also trained in drug refusal skills for situations that are unavoidable. These skills are practiced in session via modeling and role playing. This allows for in -session feedback and shaping the responses in order to improve effectiveness. A plan is developed for the next time a trigger occurs. Once the youth implements the new skills in real life, a follow up session occurs right away to provide feedback and reinforcement of the skill. In addition to refusal skills, therapists assist the client to manage the environment by identifying strategies the client can use to avoid places or people that are antecedents. This includes identifying triggers or drivers within the client's social network, including friends and social activities. The next component of CM is to develop a point -and -level system. The therapist collaborates with the family to develop a reward menu specific to the youth, identifying rewards that are desirable to the youth and achievable by the parents (looking for sustainable, realistic rewards). The program assists families by initially purchasing rewards, but expects the family to develop rewards they can maintain after treatment is completed. The rewards are quantified, giving smaller rewards for lower level achievement and larger rewards for longer -term success. An example of the system is the youth earns points for each clean UA. The points can be cashed in via a "checkbook" system where a certain number of points "buys" a certain type of reward. The points earned are tallied, as well as, those cashed in. The rewards are meant to be delivered immediately after the clean UA. The Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Substance Abuse Treatment Scope Service Page 5 of 9 program is designed so UA results are read on the spot. This is key for the effectiveness of MST - CM. Research shows that rewards are most effective when tied closely to the desired behavior. In MST -CM, youth cannot cash in points when they have hot UAs. Consequences are also administered immediately to further connect the impact of the client's choices. After a number of weeks with clean UAs, clients can advance levels which allots them more points per clean UA. This plan is developed into a formal contract that is signed by all involved (youth, caregiver, and therapist). The next steps are to implement the tools and skills taught to manage and avoid the identified triggers and monitor the client's behavior. Having a formal plan allows for the family to evaluate how well each aspect is working and tweak accordingly. For example, perhaps the client needs a more desirable reward on the menu for a particular behavior or an additional skill is identified that is necessary to address triggers. The plan can be adjusted and updated as these learnings occur allowing for an evolution of the program to meet each client's needs as they adjust and change. As a client achieves success and nears the end of treatment, the ABC assessment is re -administered to measure the positive change. The therapist again facilitates a process to identify the triggers and how the client responds differently now. The new skills are incorporated into a sustainability plan. The reward menu may also be updated. Treatment at this stage also focuses on helping the family identify triggers or situations that haven't presented themselves yet and how to address them. A plan for ongoing substance use testing is developed. The plan may outline criteria for when the family or client might need to reach out to the therapist again if issues should arise. This portion of CM aligns closely with the standard MST components as we seek to develop a plan to sustain the changes. Booster sessions are available to families to help them refer back to their sustainability plan. In MST -CM, we identify not only what they family gained in treatment for the substance use, but all of the tools they gained to sustain success in school, at home, with friends, etc. Testing of substances MST -CM clinicians are trained to train caregivers to implement substance use monitoring, such as urinalyses and breathalyzer testing. The goal here, in keeping with the MST model, is to empower parents to hold their child accountable by implementing the testing when they see fit, regardless if the therapist is present. Caregivers will provide substance use testing randomly each week and when use is suspected. First, the therapist introduces drug testing protocol, to both caregiver and youth. The therapist educates the caregiver on action steps to conduct before administering the UA. This includes taking everything out of the bathroom that could potentially be used to tamper with the specimen. This also includes sealing water faucets. The youth will be instructed to remove any jackets or bulky excess clothing. Pockets will be checked. While obtaining the specimen, the caregiver will stand at the doorway, facing out so as to hear suspicious activity while providing the youth with privacy, especially if the caregiver and youth are of opposite gender. The youth will place the cap on the specimen. The caregiver will read the temperature strip to ensure it is a proper temperature. As Weld County Department of Human Services RFP Number B 1700080 Savio Substance Abuse Treatment Scope Service Page 6 of 9 previously mentioned, the goal is provide immediate rewards or consequences to increase the effectiveness of the drug screening intervention. Therefore the specimen is not sent to a lab unless the multidisciplinary team has requested this. All results will be shared with the treatment team. 2. Target population including age range, specific population characteristics, area of service, etc. Target Population and Specific Population Characteristics Functional Family Therapy — Contingency Management (FFT/CM) FFT CM targets youth between the ages of 11 and 18 and includes treatment to the siblings of the referred adolescent when appropriate.

Services usually occur in the family home or in the community, as appropriate. Contractor also has an office in Longmont, CO. c. The nine (9) core principles of MST are: i. The primary purpose of assessment is to understand the fit between the identified problems and their broader systemic context (how problems "make sense" in a given context). ii. Therapeutic contacts emphasize the positive and use systemic strengths as levers for change. Interventions are designed to promote responsible behavior and decrease irresponsible behavior among family members. iv. interventions are present -focused and action -oriented, targeting specific and well- defined problems. v Interventions target sequences of behavior within and between multiple systems that 7 maintain identified problems. vi. Interventions are developmentally appropriate and fit the developmental needs of the youth. vii. Interventions are designed to require daily or weekly effort by family members. viii. Intervention effectiveness is evaluated continuously from multiple perspectives, with providers assuming accountability for overcoming barriers to successful outcomes. ix. Interventions are designed to promote treatment generalization and long-term maintenance of therapeutic change by empowering caregivers to address family members' needs across multiple systemic contexts. d. MST is a short-term and goal -oriented treatment that specifically targets those factors in each youth's social network that are contributing to his or her antisocial behavior. MST interventions typically aim to improve caregiver discipline practices, enhance family affective relations, decrease youth association with deviant peers, increase youth association with pro -social peers, improve youth school or vocational performance, engage youth in pro -social recreational outlets, and develop an indigenous support network of extended family, neighbors, and friends to help caregivers achieve and maintain such changes. Specific treatment techniques used to facilitate these gains are integrated from those therapies that have the most empirical support including cognitive behavioral, behavioral, and the pragmatic family therapies. e. MST-PSB is a specialized, comprehensive MST program designed to meet the needs of juvenile sex offenders reintegrating into the community.

Assessment of clients with sexual offenses is an ongoing process; therefore, level of risk is not constant over time. iii. Victims have a right to safety and self-determination. iv. Remorse and empathy should be expressed through accountability to victims. v. Youth who are sexually abusive have often been victims of abuse and neglect themselves; it is important that they experience empathy and support from others while being challenged to develop this capacity themselves. vi. Treatment of clients with sexual offenses requires a coordinated team response. vii. Effective treatment focuses both on extinguishing deviant and abusive behaviors and on addressing healthy, age -appropriate development and sexuality. Treatment should also address improving social and emotional skills and development. viii. Successful treatment and supervision of clients with sexual offenses is enhanced by the positive cooperation of family, friends, employers and members of the community who have influence in their lives. ix. Treatment of clients with sexual offenses should seek, whenever possible, to strengthen clients' emotional ties to family, friends and community. 10.
